Most likely this responsibility lies with the landlord, although, if this is a single family residence, the lease may require the tenant to deal with such things. Also, if the tenant caused the problem, then they might be responsible.

Shoud the landlord pay the renter for lost of personal property due to a faulty plumbing fixture in a rental causing a basement flood?

Generally, No. That's what your renters insurance policy is for. In certain limited cases, your landlord may be responsible if the damage was caused by negligence. For example, you report a water leak, the landlord does nothing and lets it leak for weeks. Gross negligence, such as that example, may make your landlord responsible for the damage, but you will need to PROVE the negligence, with real evidence (e.g. not he said/she said stuff).
